Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

13 things I have in my home, beginning with the letter A…to be concluded next week.

A – Angel, the perfume by Theirry Mugler
B – Black boots (two for the price of one!)
C – Coats, one especially that I am determined to fit into
D – Dishes, every day white ones from Ikea; some beautiful blue and white ones from Japan, a few from my Grandma, and from my parents, and various mismatched bits & bobs from here and there (betcha thought I’d say dogs or Dave, didn’t you?)
E – Etsy purchases
F – Freedom, to do what one wants, to speak one’s mind.
G – Grandma’s picture, both as a teen and as an adult.
H – Hairspray and it’s not mine! Dave goes through it like you can’t believe! Gotta keep that ‘do in place!
I – Individuality. Another thing I treasure.
J – Jacks of various types: O’Lanterns (some carved by Dave, some are store bought ceramic pieces), and figurines of my favorite pirate to name a couple
K – Kawaii, on a license plate from when I lived in VA
L – Little tchotchkes, meaningless to most, but they bring a smile to my face
M – Mirrors, and I don’t know why! I’m not a person that likes to look at herself. There’s one in the hallway, 2 in the living room, 1 in the kitchen, 2 in the bathroom, and 1 in the bedroom. Hmmm…

H made me smile.
As for M, I think they brighten up a place by reflecting light. I’m with you and prefer not to look in one much of the time, but I can see their usefulness. Now if the boys would stop spraying toothpaste on them!
